Did you know I've been on a mini home refurbishing shopping spree? Spree by way of side tables. I have more little occasional tables than any one homeowner could ever possibly need. :)

Next on my radar: leather via Dwell Studio.

Aside from side tables, little boy rooms are also on the mind. It's downright embarrassing how pathetic my son's room is. A mish mash space with blah every which way you look. I posted about it in late October and since then have promised to get started after the holidays. Not that boo boo cares in the least, his only request is a great big giant desk. He wants room to spread out. Sweet kid. So, my pinterest is overflowing with desks and superhero decor and yep, beds. My first major decision.

I'm guessing we'll be putting Billy Webb's workshop to work in the very near future... :)

I spent much of last night scrolling through my blog and smiling as I enjoyed the photos and videos. I need to shoot more video! I love hearing the little voices of my munchkins. 2015 shall be the year of film. Aside from that, I love this message. Beyond a day, I'm going to try this for the week. Who's with me?

Every few months I get the urge to get shit done. So right around the time our super busy summer tailed off, I started to do just that, via curb appeal - landscaping, hardscaping, painting... I'm like the local Rehab Addict {without the flat stomach and long blond hair}.

Well, as I race to finish up exterior painting before crappy cold weather sets in, I've started to amass bits and pieces for my next indoor update: Baby Bear's room. It was a kind of thrown together toddler space that hasn't been touched in forever. They'll be a new bed, a big kid desk, paint, wallpaper, fixtures, artwork...

I can happily report that my two most recent years-long indoor redos are complete, less one or two things. The bathroom needs blinds and a doorknob. Eme's room needs shelves and a pouf. I may or may not ever get around to posting photos, but trust me, they look great! :)

This summer you sprouted. Your little head reaches new heights. Your wardrobe is full of new pants. You run faster and jump higher than ever before. Though, in truth, that's mostly from dedicated super hero practice. You're committed. You love those masked crusaders.

You have always been my little walking pulse of love. You're all heart. Every morning as I leave your preschool classroom, you stand on the tippy, tippy tops of your toes to peek out the door window and watch me leave. Your eyes b-a-r-e-l-y reach the glass and every two steps I turn and wave until I reach the exit door and blow you a final kiss. Every day.

It's because of this and so many other love routines we have that I took stark notice of a change this weekend. The story will be told, "on a perfect Fall night, when you were 4 years old, you sprouted wings". You stepped away from Eme and I and played, all by yourself, with a new band of little kids." It happened just like that and has never happened before. You even came inside to find us, only to happily return to your own fun and later announce to Daddy, "I found Mommy and Deeter, they're inside reading a book. I want to play".
